MAIN CONTENT Level 3 Vocational Courses

Students on Level 3 vocational programmes must complete a oneweek work experience placement in their first year. This is compulsory for progression to year two and applies to all BTEC and CTEC courses (excluding Criminology). 

A Levels & Criminology

Work experience is not mandatory, but students are strongly encouraged to arrange a placement during the dedicated week or in college holidays. 

Arranging a Placement

Students are responsible for securing their own placement and must submit the placement form on Unifrog CLICK HERE. Work experience is increasingly expected by employers and universities.
